I also wish they offered more refreshing drinks that complemented the food instead of just sodas. Overall, I would definitely come back again.

It will change every time depending on which staff made it and unknown spice level of chilies they receive. When I first ate here 4 years go, the orange salsa was amazing and refreshing-- not too spicy. Each time after, it no longer has that refreshing taste. It's now very spicy and lost the original tomato taste I fell in love with. Of all the salsas I like the one that come with the free chips & salsa This place is worth it!!

So, I've unfortunately been passing it over. I finally decided to try it out and I was in for a treat. I got the chicken kebab plate as the sandwich board right out side the door suggested, along with a side of fries to go. The fries were crispy with a ting of spice and delicious. But the star of the show was the kebab for sure. Meaty, plump, flavorful, definitely one of the outstanding chicken kebabs in town. Lot of places give you a dry, flaky kebabs but here, it's been cooked to the perfect amount of juiciness. The rice was also butterly and flavorful. Good pita, hummus and the vegetables too. It might feel a little pricey (but everything else is too nowadays), but they give you a nice filling portion. The staffs are very nice and attentive. Clean, fun, colorful interior. I'd love to dine in next time. I'm definitely coming back for more, I want to try the loaded fries wraps, and the kanafeh next time around. The location's and the parking access is not the best, so I really hope Manakish gets all the attraction and attentions it deserves!

Some of our favorite dishes include the eggplant dishes, green beans, sesame tofu, coconut rice, and more. One dish we especially love is the mango salad. They bring it to your table and mix it right in front of you--it's fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I would recommend this restaurant to those who eat meat as well as vegetarian as they have a nice amount of both dishes for everyone to enjoy!

We got two different vegetarian wraps to go: the Lebanese fries wrap and the falafel wrap. To our…read moresurprise, the fries wrap was the better of the two, as the garlic aioli and whatever other flavors were added made it tasty. It definitely could have used the coleslaw and pickles promised by the menu but they weren't in evidence. That was the problem with the falafel wrap, too: the menu promised hummus, cabbage & tomatoes salad, and pickled turnips, but those ingredients weren't anywhere to be seen. There was some lettuce instead, but lettuce is a poor substitute as it just becomes immediately soggy and adds no flavor. If you've ever had falafel in Israel, you will be disappointed by the falafel here, unfortunately. (Israeli falafel shops each make at least a dozen toppings from family recipes, so you put as many veggies and sauces in as you can to create a flavor party in your mouth.)

If you do stop by for lunch, I recommend arriving with some times to spare as this place can get quite busy. That said, there's always seating and I recommend eating your food while it's still fresh. The thing about shawarmaji is that it's simple but everything is perfect. The chicken is tender, well-seasoned, and generously portioned in all of their items. Their pickles are homemade, have a little variety, and a satisfying amount of crunch. Their toum and chili sauce are also made in-house and are the perfect complement to their food. I always ask for extra. Their chicken shawarma fries are excellent as well. Same toppings as the wrap, but you swap out the flat bread for a generous portion of crispy, almost battered, fries. They're also available as a stand alone side and are worth getting, but the toppings really take it to the next level.

First off, the full-size wrap is huge, definitely enough to fill you up, and it tasted amazing. The chicken was super juicy and packed with flavor. I loved the garlic sauce and pickles inside the wrap, and I even got extra garlic sauce on the side because it was that good. The chicken shawarma fries were also delicious. They load them up with a generous amount of chicken, pickles, and garlic sauce layered over the fries, so every bite has tons of flavor. This is definitely one of my favorite spots for chicken shawarma now. Highly recommend!
